At the recent IT Nation Secure 2023 event, ConnectWise shared an interesting statistic from Accenture in their opening keynote: “Even though 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), only 14% of SMBs are prepared to defend their businesses from pervasive cyberthreats.” It is not surprising in the modern, connected world that smaller companies […]
In cybersecurity, we are already familiar with Antivirus. However, as the number and types of cyberattacks continue to increase, another solution called EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) has emerged. So, what sets Antivirus and EDR apart? How can we determine which one suits our needs, or which one is better for protecting our business and […]
Of all the reasons you started your business, running an IT environment probably wasn’t one of them. But the more you rely on digital tools to connect with customers, plan schedules, keep records, process sales or whatever else you use it for, the more dealing with technology can seem like a full-time job. That’s especially […]
Confronting today’s cyber threats with cutting-edge technologies and tactics Security used to be so simple for the average business. You installed anti-virus (AV) solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software up to date. That day is gone. Small to midsize companies now need to fortify against new, advanced, real-time threats […]

CSP Remote Monitoring & Management includes the best-in-class Web Protection service that will keep your users safe and productive. It complements traditional antivirus engines and firewalls by letting you define your own content-filtering […]
Take a layered approach to security Call it layered security or defense in depth, but just make sure that you use it. While the concept is as old as IT security thinking itself, that doesn’t make applying layers of security any the less relevant today. Choosing the correct layers, of course, is paramount. Think of […]
As another example, “deny” rules against Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) on workstations make it more difficult for cybercriminals to use a compromised endpoint as a SPAM bot to blast out more email phishing attacks with Trojan attachments. By using a combination of outbound firewall rules, network segmentation, and a SIEM to capture log information and alert suspicious activity, the Trojan’s attempts to infect and communicate internally and externally […]
“The Windows Authentication mode is less vulnerable to brute force attacks, as the attacker is likely to run into a login lockout after a finite number of attack attempts.” . STATE 1: MACHINE IS FULLY PATCHED, ANTIVIRUS IS INSTALLED AND UP TO DATE The only vulnerabilities that exist here are either “human” (end users tricked into installing malware) or zero-day attacks/exploits that would […]
With a plethora of cloud-based services, including Gmail and Office 365, the delivery stage is perhaps the most inexpensive phase for businesses to implement malware interception today. It is also relatively easy of implement, with little if any impact on business operations. Email scanning and web surfing proxy services located on-premises or in the cloud provide the majority of cyber attack […]
